Add the kidney beans to the pan with the chili powder or 2 chopped red chilies

Add salt and pepper to suit

Allow to simmer for 45 minutes, stirring regularly

Serve nice and hot, accompanied by some nice, thick slices of toasted bread rubbed with garlic.

Suggestion

Depending on how spicy you like your food, feel free to be more generous with the amount of chili you use. I recommend that you mix together several different types of chilies and peppers: the milder green chilies with the explosive little red chilies. There are also several varieties of pepper, and its many flavors and robust character will help you to perfect your chili blend
